Lela Loren says she is being threatened because she plays a federal prosecutor on Starz hit show “Power.”
“For me, it is not so much if people hate my character, it’s when I get threats on my own personal life. It is just awful,” she told us at the “Power” cocktail party held at Catch.
“People can wish my character dead all the time. But it is when you say if you see me you are going to cut me, rape me — that is the piece that is really hard with social media and the anonymity of people … As a woman, it is really hard when people think they can say misogynistic things to me while I am riding the train because they saw me naked on the show. They think because [I’ve] been sexualized on television that they can approach me.”
